I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

He's a very good director and the nicest person ever, as is his wife, Rachel.

Mostly lurking...

Anyone own Bambara's Gorilla, My Love and a scanner? I need a couple of short stories from that book by Wednesday, and the library can't get it to me by then (stupid Monday is a holiday in MA).

That website is wonderful.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh, that was brilliant. And that book is now on my Amazon list, even though short stories aren't usually my bag.

Because books.

I want Deena to redesign my website now. That was awesome.

I'm reading The Prestige right now (which Sail sent me for my birthday and totally surprised me!) and really liking it. I think having seen the movie is taking the edge off some of the reveals that the author is clearly working up to, but there are so many interesting plot differences, it hardly matters. Really loving it so far.

Really loving it so far.

That makes me very happy. I still haven't wathced the blinking movie despite the fact I ordered it from amazon and have had it for at least a month. I'm hoping it's a lot better than The Illusionist.

Because books.

I actually liked The Illusionist better. But they're very different movies.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I just finished The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Damn, that was a cool book . It looks giant and think and slightly intimidating - esp since it is a kid's book. But there are lots of drawings - and the story gets more and more intricate as it goes along. I love that the reason for all the drawings is perfectly clear by the end of the book.
